Note that Jenner was surpassed a few days ago by Selena Gomez, with 382m IG followers. Gomez promptly took a break “cause this is a little silly, and I'm 30, I'm too old for this. But I love you so much and I'll see you guys sooner than later. I'm just gonna take a break from everything."

We actually got that news from CBS!

Simone Marchetti, who interviewed Madonna last month, talks topics from business to postpartum depression with Jenner in Kylie Jenner: the secret of K factor.

Six Women Who Understand Americans Better Than We Know Ourselves

Collectively six women, 6-K’s are followed by 1,559,500 people globally on Instagram. Is there some overlap? One assumes so, but still . . .

The Kardashian-Jenners entertained the world, while shaping its customs and habits, writes Matchetti. People can protest all they want about the Kardashians, and they can also turn them off. The fact that they won’t tells us more about them than the K-women, who have made a fortune off our addiction to them.

You don’t find AOC criticizing the Kardashian-Jenner women, because our values say we must criticize their followers at the same time. It’s the followers who are making them rich and famous. Consider that they probably know more about the human psychology of Americans than any think tank in America. Granted, they are a global brand, but this IS an American story.

Settling in at $600 Million

In June 2022, Forbes estimated Kylie Jenner’s net worth at $600 million. And that’s where we will leave it.

The more interesting discussion for Kylie is her learnings about post-partum depression with her two children. The illness was severe with her first child, daughter Stormi now age five, and a definite issue but decreased with her baby son Aire, who just celebrated his first birthday.

This is an area where Kylie can really be helpful to other women, because postpartum depression seems to be understood only by those who have gone through it — which is a majority of women, if we include the “baby blues”.

Doctors are only beginning to understand the life-long impacts of severe postpartum depression on the children of these mothers. There are many areas where the Kardashian women can make a difference, but this one is huge and you need women who are comfortable talking about anything and everything to lead the discussion. AOC nominates the 6-Ks.

Kylie doesn’t speak to her yet again breakup with Travis Scott in the Vanity Fair Italia interview. Like Kim, her focus is very much on her children, her business and family.

The men seem to come and go and return and go again. No one suggests that Travis Scott is not a good father, and relations between the two are amicable.

I’ve been reading a great deal about ancestral women and early societies. We misunderstand the fact that women also regularly participated in big-game hunting, analyzed for centuries by men thousands of years later who believed that hunting big-game was a man’s job. Wrong!

6-Ks Give the Patriarchy Total Heartburn

Many of the reasons why people dislike the Kardashians is envy — clearly — but also because we have a group of hyper-competent, focused women who seem to handle all the trials and tribulations with their marriages quite well.

They are formidable creatures who give nightmares to the most patriarchal institutions worldwide. Considering all the Maga women like gunslinger congresswoman Lauren Boebert [R-CO] who calls women “the lesser vessel”, the Kardashian women inspire us and our children.

You don’t have to love them to respect them. These women hold themselves to a really high-bar standard.

Boebert’s complete quote was "We are created equal, we're not the same. Women are the lesser vessel and we need masculinity in our lives to balance that, that so-called weakness. Just us being more frail and needing that strength in our lives."

I’ll take an order of 6-Ks, please. ~ Anne
